Fifteen-year-old Wright, ranked nine in the England under-17s list, was well supported by Glyn Hawley and Tim Wright who each scored braces in a 7-3 victory. A Mick Bell brace was the best for the visitors.

In Division Two, Stuart Element took a maximum in the 7-3 win over Don Valley C at the Institute for Sport. Element's son Richard accounted for Glenn Brooke and Phil Arliss ground out wins over Brooke and Louis Havenhand.
